[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1750614, member: 94045"] Oooops. Posts crossed. You need to be organised and systematic with testing. Random tests mean nothing. To begin with - Test immediately before you eat Test again 2 hours after first bite Look at the difference between the before and after levels and try to keep any rise under 2mmol/l preferably less. More than 2mmol/l and there are too many carbs in that meal. Keep a detailed food diary including portion sizes and record your levels alongside the food. Watch for patterns emerging that will show you what your danger foods are. These need to be eliminated or kept to small portion sizes. There are other recommended testing times, but these should be OK until you are confident you know what you are doing. [/QUOTE]
